Taking to Instagram to announce the tour, the band posted: “31 shows Australia wide will bring on the sweet times and hot nights - featuring a setlist packed with hits ‘20 Good Reasons’, ‘In The Summertime’, ‘Tommy And Krista’, ‘Mousetrap Heart’, ‘The Good Life’ and many more!”

The Summer Live 25 tour commences on Thursday 2 October at Canberra’s The Basement before hitting a range of cities and towns, including Townsville, Bundaberg, Gold Coast, Sydney, Torquay and Adelaide, wrapping things up on Saturday 3 January at Laurieton’s Laurieton United Services Club.

Getting together in 2002, Thirsty Merc, comprising original members Rai Thistlethwayte and Phil Stack alongside Matt Smith, dropped their debut self-titled album the same year and found radio play with the single ‘In the Summertime’.

Thirsty Merc have gone on to release three more albums, including Slideshows, which peaked at #4 on the ARIA Album Chart, and released a stack of great singles, such as fan favourites ‘Someday, Someday’, ‘20 Good Reasons’ and ‘Mousetrap Heart’.

While it’s been a long time between drinks, with Thirsty Merc’s last album arriving ten years ago, the band have cultivated a dedicated Aussie fanbase thanks to their passionate live performances, with the band continuing to sell out shows.

Catch Thirsty Merc at Mt Gambier’s The Globe Hotel on Saturday 6 December and Adelaide’s The Gov on Sunday 7 December. Tickets are on sale now via thirstymerc.com.
